Beef recalled earlier this year from a California meat producer may have reached 35 states and Guam, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said.

Thousands of retailers, which included Rouses Markets and Brookshire Food Stores in Louisiana, have been added to a list of companies that could have received beef products from the producer, Rancho Feeding Corp., since the February recall, the USDA said.

"Rouses Markets does not have any of these recalled beef products at any of our 43 stores. We appreciate the local media helping us clear up this erroneous report," said Allison Rouse Royster with Rouses Markets.

The USDA said it will continue to update the list so that the affected products can be removed from commerce.

The USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service said the meat involved in the February recall came from "diseased and unsound" animals that weren't properly inspected.

The USDA had not received any reports of illness because of the recalled Rancho meat as of a statement issued in February. But the agency called it a "Class I recall," meaning it is a "health hazard situation where there is a reasonable probability that the use of the product will cause serious, adverse health consequences or death."

The wide range of products subject to recall included 30-pound boxes of beef lips, mountain oysters and sweetbreads, as well as 40-pound boxes of veal bones and 60-pound boxes of veal trim.

The recalled products were produced and shipped between Jan. 1, 2014, and Jan. 7, 2014. The USDA mark of inspection on them has "EST. 527" and their case code number ends in 3 or 4.
